Hello
thanks for your query.
IT is a must to have a follow up appointment after a miscarriage.
This is important to rule out retained products of conception.
If they are undiagnosed, they can lead to florid pelvic infection, uterine scarring and other complications.
You could easily take a urine routine microscopic and culture test to exclude a UTI.
But please finish your follow up to rule out infection in the pelvis due to retained tissue.
All the best.
